Big thanks for creating an alternative to this chaos. Looks good enough for me and some of the other lads I roll with. I'll start posting my goodies on VR from now on. But please keep the assholes at bay who've destroyed Scoot.net AND that includes the f*cking dickhead from SLO (?)who just can't shut up and has to give his 2 cents every time someone has a legit complaint. Stop being such a smart ass because many of the people you're pissing off are the same folk you'll meet again in person at the meets...Big thanks for creating an alternative to this chaos.

There's always the one fool who tries to put lipstick on a pig and defend all the friggin scamming/spamming/trolling that has been ruining this site, slowly but surely. There used to be a time long ago when it was just US as in Two-Strokers who were using this site as a great place to sell and trade, but now Scoot.net is on the brink of being devoured by a legion of lowlifes and trolls who really don't give a f*uck about any of us in the scene. :(

I have used scoot.net since the Jinx Scooter Club page first launched in the late 1990ís. The only thing that has changed is a couple (or one?) loud (newbies to the internet?) assholes who donít understand that there are spam and scams everywhere online (craigslist and FB arenít flawless either) and have to spew anonymous complaints all over this board. If you put up barriers to post or assign a group of moderators who eventually get on power trips, it all stops working organically and reliably. Youíre more annoying than the spammers. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. There are plenty of Facebook groups that are probably more your speed. It works the same way it has for almost 20 years. Lots of sites have been started to compete with it, I ran one in the late 1990's too, but forwarded later to scoot.net, because scoot.net has always ruled. And leave Bill alone with petty complaints. We've got almost half a million scooter rally pics stored on his server, I'd rather this didn't become a hassle for him.

I have an idea. We can create a new site that can handle new posting and pulling legit posts/ads from Scootnet. We can have a few mods managing the pulling as well.
I can do quick PHP or C# scripts to parse title, image, description, contact info. I can host the website or pay for hosting if necessary.
With Scootnet, I noticed it is using old version of MySQL 5.6 which has
some vulnerability. May be we can do some SQL injection to control the DB? Is anyone in the group with programming experience? Lets discuss if there are options to try to control the site.
BTW, does anyone have a similar Vespa ACMA to the image below for sale? or the person who purchased it 2 years ago want to resell?I have an idea. We can create a new site that can handle new posting and pulling legit posts/ads from Scootnet. We can have a few mods managing the pulling as well.

Someone is paying hosting fees. Even ghost sites have to pay hosting. A quick search shows that the site is hosted at twocows but the owner details are private. If you look closely over time you will see that someone is indeed moving ads from one section to another. Bill may have limited time or interest but it is not dead. An offer to purchase the site may be an option as well. If anyone gets in touch with Bill and if he wants a thousand bucks in his pocket hit me up. info@scooterhelp.comSomeone is paying hosting fees.

Bill has not serviced this site since 2013, it's a ghost it runs by itself and he does not monitor it anymore, so there will be no post deleting or spammer blocking. I have emailed him at the site email which he no longer uses and at his work email which has also gone unanswered, next I will send a snail mail letter to his home address, for all I know he could be dead, but there is no question that he has abandoned Scoot.net and it is now running autonomously.
If any of you are in Salt Lake City and want to scooter bye his house and beg him to set up some mods for this page, hit me up for his address, other than that, if you know any good hackers, they might be able to backdoor their way in to delete spam.

2005 Stella (black) with the original matching black Scooter World Sidecar. Everything runs/works great in it; 10,000 miles; it has both electric and kick start; front disc brake. The sidecar has brand new upholstery and is in great shape. The scooter has a couple dings/scratches, but all in all, it's in great condition. It's a super solid daily driver. All of the work and maintenance has been done by 2nd Ave Scooters in Phoenix. I hate to get rid of it because it is such a cool, reliable, good running scoot, but I have a daughter getting ready for college, and that's expensive! $3900 obo.2005 Stella (black) with the original matching black Scooter World Sidecar.

Mail Bill...
If you have questions or comments regarding scoot.net you can mail Bill, but please review the following FAQs first.
Q: I need a photo gallery created for my rally last weekend!
Fill out the request form at http://scoot.net/gallery/galleryrequest.html, please track down the sponsor url's too.
Q: I have a patch for the patch gallery.
A: Mail me a 300 Dots-per-inch scan, made with a flatbed scanner, not a picture taken with a camera. Save as tiff or high-quality jpg. 300 DPI means the image will be big a 3x3inch patch should be nearly 1000 pixels square. Leave some border around the edges of the patch too, please.
Q: I uploaded a zip file of pictures from my Mac, but they're not showing up!
A: Was it really a zip file, or a .SIT file that you renamed to .zip? .SIT files will not work.
Q: I want to use a picture from the gallery for my book/magazine/website.
A: Contact the photographer, mail me if you need help tracking them down.
Q: I've sold my scooter listed in the classifieds, can you remove the listing?
A: Mail me a link to the ad, like http://scoot.net/classifieds/forsale.html?id=xxxx.
Q: My scooter won't start! Can you help me fix my scooter?
A: I barely have time to fix my own scooters, maybe you can get some tips at vespamaintenance.com or scooterbbs.com.
